A Message From Fr. Charles Briggs
To All His Many Friends And Parishioners.
“Your Prayers would naturally be very much appreciated. As a Priest, I am well familiar with The Truths of our Faith concerning the last things of Death, Judgement, Hell, and Heaven, but the end of life here below is a trial for which none may presume on being fully prepared to face.
“I will offer up my sufferings; for you, my dear family and friends, in reparation for my sins, and in union with our dear Saviour’s redeeming Sacrifice on The Cross.
“My apologies if I do not get to say “Goodbye”, personally,
but, as Saint Thomas More said:
“Pray for me, as I will for thee,
that we may merrily meet in Heaven” ”.
Fr. Charles Briggs.
Dear Jesus: Pray for him.
Dear Holy Mother Mary: Pray for him.
Dear Saint Charles Borromeo: Pray for him.
“ Pray for me as I will for thee, that we may meet merrily in heaven.” What a wonderful farewell statement.
